Aegina, a place you ease into

Discover the Island

Aegina isn’t a place you rush through — it’s a place you ease into.

From ancient temples to turquoise coves, artisan alleys to pistachio-scented groves, the island invites you to explore slowly, live simply, and remember deeply.

Just 40 minutes from Athens, Aegina is a world of its own — an island where history, nature, and island life blend in quiet sophistication.

Whether you're drawn to heritage, nature, or the gentle rhythm of island life, Aegina invites you to explore — at your own pace.

Local Life & Flavours

Explore the lively harbor town of Aegina, with its neoclassical facades, vibrant cafés, and artisan shops hidden in picturesque alleys.

By night, the atmosphere comes alive with refined dining, sea-view wine bars, and strolls along the waterfront.

Don't miss the island’s signature pistachio — a local delicacy that inspires sweets, liqueurs, and savory flavors unique to the island.

Timeless History

Wander through the island’s ancient past.

Visit the majestic Temple of Aphaia, standing high above the sea, or walk through the serene ancient olive grove — trees over a thousand years old.

At Kolona , just above the port, discover layers of archaeological history that connect Aegina to the earliest roots of Greek civilization.

Nature & Day Trips

Take a short boat ride from nearby Perdika to the uninhabited islet of Moni, home to free-roaming deer and peacocks, perfect for a secluded swim in turquoise waters.

Or set out on a private excursion to neighboring islands like Agistri and Poros, or even across the gulf to the ancient theatre of Epidaurus — a cultural gem set in pine-clad hills.

Art & Architecture

Aegina has long inspired artists and thinkers.

Visit the Kapralos Museum, showcasing the work of one of Greece’s great sculptors,

or discover the unique architectural heritage of the Rodakis House, a rare example of vernacular design deeply in harmony with the land.
